Right then, a one-sided affair to start this three-match series, but the Netherlands will be better for the experience and will be eyeing a turnaround in the next game. Bangladesh, meanwhile, will look to seal the series. The second T20I will also be played here in Sylhet on Monday, 1st September, with the first ball at 12 pm GMT. As always, we will be with you early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
The skipper of Bangladesh, Litton Das says that he is really happy with the team's effort. Feels that the dew was a major factor in today's match. He praises Taskin Ahmed for bowling exceptionally and picking four wickets. Also appreciates Saif Hassan for picking a couple of key wickets. Ends up by saying that 137 was not a big deal on this ground and the way Parvez Hossain Emon started was good to see.
Taskin Ahmed is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his superb bowling display. He says it feels great to put in a performance like this, especially in the first game of the series. Admits he struggled a bit when returning from injury, but is slowly getting back into rhythm. Credits the team’s hard work over the past few weeks. Adds that the wicket was good for batting and with the dew factor in play, he stuck to the basics and mixed up his variations.
The captain of Netherlands, Scott Edwards praises the Bangladesh team for the victory and admits that they were outplayed in all departments. He also says that they were 20-25 runs short of the score which they had targeted early on while batting. Gives full credit to the Bangladesh team for putting them under pressure right from the start. Hopes that they can make a comeback in the next game.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
Earlier, Litton Das won the toss and had no hesitation in bowling first, given the rain in the lead-up to the game and the likelihood of dew later on. The Dutch innings simply flattered to deceive. Max O’Dowd looked promising at the top but couldn’t build on his start, and just when Scott Edwards and Teja Nidamanuru were beginning to inject momentum, both fell in the same over. From there, the innings never recovered as the tourists eventually scraped their way to 136. Taskin Ahmed starred with 4 for 28, Mustafizur Rahman was the most economical, and Saif Hassan’s twin strikes of Edwards and Teja proved decisive.
Tanzid Hasan played the supporting role while Litton Das broke the back of the chase with his free-flowing stroke play. Their 66-run partnership virtually sealed the game, with Das ensuring he stayed till the end and Saif Hassan applying the finishing touches. The Netherlands didn’t help their cause either, wayward with their lines both in the Powerplay and thereafter, something they simply couldn’t afford when defending a low total.
A dominant effort from Bangladesh to go 1-0 up in the series! The victory was set up by their bowlers, and then Litton Das and Co. made light work of the target. The Netherlands were simply outplayed in both departments, but are certainly a much better side than what they showed on the night. It was always going to be tough to defend 136 with the dew settling in, and the Dutch needed to land early punches in the Powerplay. Aryan Dutt prising out Parvez Hossain Emon was as good as it got for them in the early stages, but it was not before Parvez getting off to a flier.
